[sdiy] +-12V from two +12V

[Andrew Simper]

Hi Marin,

Thanks for the info! They do look identical. I'll try and find a dual
variable voltage and current unit so I can get +-15. and get ungraded
current limiting. I'm make sure to double check how much current it's
generating with a DMM before breadboarding anything.

All the best,

Andy
